Well, hello everyone! It’s been quite some time since I last posted here, and this is also my first time in the Vendor Corner!
So, you may be asking, 'Hey Jeff, what is this about?
Well, I’m glad you asked that question! This post is about a motor mount fix for the Hoyt Rosita trucks and Metroboard Pathfinder trucks. As some may or may not be aware, both of these trucks’ motor mounts have a serious issue—over-tensioning. This is the main problem: the mounts over-tighten the belts as you ride. I’ve personally faced this issue to the extreme, with belts snapping prematurely due to the strain, as well as blowing motor bearings and bending the motor shaft because of it!
Well, welcome to the reason why this post is being made.
Personally, as a former Hoyt Ambassador, I loved the Tabor. However, the only issue was the mount. I wanted so badly to enjoy the board without dealing with over-tension issues—whether it was my belts, motor shaft deforming, or, worse, my motor bearings blowing out mid-ride. Eventually, I decided enough was enough.
With the help of a local friend who had a set of Hoyt Rosita trucks that weren’t being used on any board, we set out on a solution. After a year in the making, we handed over the trucks to a wonderful, smart, and dedicated vendor/designer in the Esk8 space @Tony_Stark over at Radium Performance.
Together, with Liam’s great help, dedication to the project, and time, we were able to create a new set of mounts. These are similar to the original but address the over-tensioning issue, which stemmed from the auto-tensioning system that Hoyt had originally implemented into the trucks.
Below, you’ll find photos of the mounts, along with a video explaining how they work and comparing the old motor mounts to the new ones.
So, these were made in a limited batch because I couldn’t find enough Hoyt Tabor or Metroboard Pathfinder owners/users to justify producing a large batch of motor mounts for the fix.
So, here’s where you come in! If you’re a user of the Hoyt Tabor, Metroboard Pathfinder, or if you have Hoyt Rosita or Metroboard Pathfinder trucks and want a set of mounts, comment below and send me a message!
The mounts are all packed and ready to ship! I only have 3 sets left out of the original 10 sets ordered. The price for the mounts is $126 shipped to any of the 50 U.S. states! I can also ship internationally if needed.
Ships within 1-3 days after payment aswell as they are all pre packed and ready to go to anybody that needs!
